Did you find/prep that. That is unreal.

All my Messel fossils are own finds. It is not so difficult to prep them. The oil shale is very soft; you can either prep the fossils by gentle brushing or by blasting. This one was cleaned with a very soft tooth brush.

Wait, what? I'm looking through all of these thinking you must have paid a pretty penny for some of these but you found em?!?! These are really amazing. Really makes me want to take a trip to Germany..

Awesome find!
